Just out of curiosity, did DL intentionally downgrade the ping utility, or was it done upstream at LFS? On 1.4RC1, it returns this version number: "ping - GNU inetutils 1.5", while on 1.2.15, it returns this: "ping utility, iputils-ss020927". The version in iputils seems to be better to me. It includes a flag for broadcast (-b) and interface (-I) and both are features that I would like to make use of, but neither are in inetutils. I'm kind of disappointed in inetutils, as it is a program by GNU. iputils seems to be run by a single person, and hasn't been updated in a few years, but it seems to be better just from the options list. Thanks, Brad Landis |
